The Ballroom, Bulgari Hotel, London

Occupying an entire floor of the Hotel, the stunning Ballroom, dedicated to Giorgio and Costantino Bulgari, seats up to 140 guests for lunch, dinner, an exclusive conference or charity ball. Handcrafted solid silver chandeliers dominate the Ballroom. Designed and made exclusively for Bulgari by Padgham and Putland Silversmiths, they are considered the most impressive pair of silverware pieces made this century. The entire space is served by the latest sophisticated lighting and technology, including a professional Bose loudspeaker system, piped music and wireless Internet. The reception area features a built-in bar of ribbed steel, glass and mirrors, and a cupola lined with white gold mosaic, created by Italian artisans.
